Rehabilitation

When an injury or health condition prevents you from enjoying your usual routine, rehabilitation can help. At Powell Valley Healthcare, our rehabilitation team provides instruction and appropriate exercise programs that can help you return to work, play and the daily activities you love.

We offer our rehabilitation services on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Outpatient physical and occupational therapy services are available at PVHC Physical Therapy.

Conditions treated by physical therapy

Physical therapy can help restore movement after an injury, surgery, or a stroke or other brain trauma. Our physical therapists are experienced in helping people recover from:

Neck and back pain.

Orthopedic problems, such as joint pain in the shoulders, knees, elbows and fingers.

Sports-related injuries.

Neurological disorders, like a stroke or brain injury.

Conditions treated by occupational therapy

Occupational therapists are experts in helping people regain the kind of fine movement needed for daily activities like bathing, cooking, buttoning a blouse and brushing teeth. Occupational therapists also help patients learn to use appropriate adaptive equipment, such as leg braces, wheelchairs and eating aids.

Pre- and postoperative rehabilitation

If you know you have a surgery coming up, "pre-hab" services can help you strengthen your muscles for a quicker recovery after surgery. Our rehabilitation specialists will also work with you after surgeries such as:

Total joint replacement.

Ligament reconstruction.

Shoulder surgery.

Neck and back surgery.

Hand surgery.

If you'll be using walking aids after surgery, one of our therapists can fit you with crutches or a walker and show you how to use it.
